Festive Fresh Fruit Bowls
1 cantaloupe melon, halved and seeded
1/2 honeydew melon, seeded
1/4 cup superfine or granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp orange flavored liqueur (optional)
1 1/2 tsp grated lime peel
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 cup black or red seedless grapes
Using a melon baller, scoop flesh from cantaloupe and
honeydew into balls; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the
sugar, lime juice, lemon juice, orange liqueur, and lime peel. Stir
well to dissolve sugar. Add the melon balls, strawberries and grapes.
Toss to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at
least one hour, to blend flavors, stirring once or twice. Spoon the fruit
mixture into serving bowls or hollowed out melon halves, dividing evenly.
Serve immediately.
Reduce the sugar in this dish by replacing sugar with SPLENDA brand
